Denied Entry To Sambhal, Rahul Gandhi And Priyanka Host Victims' Families In Delhi

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi met families affected by Sambhal violence in Delhi and extended support. Congress denounced the violence as the result of BJP's "hate politics".

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday met the families of those affected by the recent violence in Sambhal at his 10 Janpath residence in New Delhi. Accompanied by All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, he assured them of all possible assistance in their pursuit of justice.  

The Congress party, in a post on X, stated, “Today, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress general secretary and MP Priyanka Gandhi met the victims of Sambhal. The incident in Sambhal is the ill-effects of BJP's hate politics, and it is fatal for a peaceful society."  

The post further read, “Together, we have to defeat this violent and hateful mentality with love and brotherhood.” The Congress reiterated its commitment to stand by the victims and pledged to fight for their justice.

Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi Denied Nod To Visit Sambhal And Meet Victims’ Families

Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government had denied permission to both Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi to visit Sambhal and meet the victims’ families. On December 4, while en route to Sambhal, the Gandhi siblings were stopped by the Uttar Pradesh Police at the Ghazipur border. Rahul Gandhi criticised the action, terming it “anti-constitutional.” He even offered to proceed alone with police escort but was not allowed.  

The violence in Sambhal occurred on November 24 during a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque. Clashes between protesters and security personnel resulted in the deaths of four people and injuries to several others.
